00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:01.080
If nothing else,

2
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:05.370
this year's MTV movie and TV awards
reminded us why we need writers.

3
00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:08.760
Here are three of the weirdest
moments from a very weird show.

4
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.330
Joseph Quinn accepted his award for
best breakthrough performance from what

5
00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:16.230
appeared to be a completely empty room
speaking from something that looked like

6
00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:17.760
a covid lockdown zoom call.

7
00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:20.550
Quinn thanked his fans and
stood up for writers saying.

8
00:00:21.210 --> 00:00:23.190
I don't think that people, uh,

9
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.440
would connect with a character
like Eddie or others.

10
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.240
In the Stranger Things universe,
without compassionate, intelligent,

11
00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:33.240
quality writing, being a writer is
a hard job and it deserves respect.

12
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:34.350
Drew BarryMoore,

13
00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:37.350
who pulled out his host of the show last
week because of the writer's Strike,

14
00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:41.130
won an award for Best host. She
accepted the Honor from her bathroom,

15
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:43.590
which you know, was an interesting choice.

16
00:00:43.770 --> 00:00:46.050
BarryMoore thanked her
show's writers saying.

17
00:00:46.410 --> 00:00:50.820
I wanna thank, um, Chelsea White,
Christina Kiyan, and Liz Coe,

18
00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:54.000
our amazing, amazing writers.

19
00:00:54.940 --> 00:00:58.740
And this is definitely for them.

20
00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:03.240
And every single person who makes
this show, there's no eye in mind,

21
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:04.410
just ours. And we.

22
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.590
Rather than addressing the need
to pay people livable wages,

23
00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:11.310
Tom Cruise decided to show off his
fricking sweet World War II fighter plane

24
00:01:11.580 --> 00:01:15.120
cruise. Thanked his fans, plugged his
upcoming Mission Impossible flick,

25
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.550
and ended his speech by saying simply.

26
00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:21.840
Thank you again for letting me entertain
you. It's an absolute privilege.
